“We look forward to welcoming customers and other industry professionals to SDC’s RTX stand B20, to experience first-hand the exceptional quality and innovation SDC Trailers bring to the road transport industry.”

According to SDC, its Platform Trailer stands out as one of the most durable and robust models within the range.
